DESCRIPTION

Creating Opportunities for Physical Activity (COPA) is a physical activity and nutrition initiative in seven K-5 elementary schools in Wilmington, CA. COPA works to build a culture of daily physical activity and healthy eating on school campuses and in the surrounding community using a peer coach model.

The PE Assistant works with 20-35 students at a physical activity station for 10 minutes and then rotates the students to the next station.

The ideal candidate is passionate about physical activity and nutrition and has experience working with K-5 students in a school/after-school setting. This individual will also be resourceful, well-organized, and creative in promoting and enhancing program needs and services.
